Totally understand that Daka is causing defenders problems and has certainly contributed since getting more games, but I really do think Cannon is a striker that will likely put away these chances. I'd like to see him start some games again. Missed chances cost us the game tonight (+ref!), so we should roll the dice and give Cannon some games.

Yes, we were the better team. Yes, once they equalised we didn't handle it well. 2 deflected goals followed. They got lucky with the two deflections and I don't think made their own luck in this particular game as they were outplayed. We had the opposite, no luck. I didn't see any attempt to stroll through tonight's game. I saw a hatful of missed chances that came about due to our attacking intent. Plan A was working great, and should have had us 2-0 at the very least due to a shocking offside call. Plan A has us top of the league, and if you look closer, you will see many changes Enzo makes before and during games. Painful way to lose a game, but despite the anger and raw emotion, Enzo did very little wrong tonight. Players have to take these chances.

Totally disagree. Enzo was almost flawless tonight in his approach. We outplayed Leeds for 80minutes and bar a ridiculous offside decision or the unthinkable misses from our players, we are walking away with 3 or 4-0 statement win. He has been at fault before, but officials and ridiculous missed chances cost us dearly tonight. Not to mention 2 deflected goals for them.

I am confident we will get 1st or 2nd still, as I think teams around us will still lose games and I expect a reaction from us after tonight that will get us over the line. However, I just listened to Enzo and Ricardo's post match interviews, and I can't shake this niggling feeling that I've had for a while, that Enzo and the players don't react the right way to a loss. They seem far too passive and "that's football" type of attitude. Pre-Enzo, I already thought we lacked a certain intensity and passion to win at all costs, and that was part of the reason we were relegated. It feels that not only have we not being able to shake that with a new Manager and some new players, but it is actually still with us more than ever. The quick fix of course, is to sign 2-3 players in the Summer who have that nastiness and ruthlessness that we are lacking. If we don't, I suspect we will all lose patience very quickly with such a passive reaction to likely many more losses if we get promoted.

****ING DEFLECTIONS!!!!! How many will go against us this season
-
Oh come on, we absolutely bossed them and were robbed 2-0 by an awful offside call and a load of bad finishing. Enzo can't control that. We should have been 3 or 4-0 and cruising. Players and ref takes blame for this one, 100%.
-
Oh piss off
-
You'd bet your house on that happening. It is just so predictable. We need a couple of players in who have some genuine fight to win these types of games. Will be all Leeds now as we shrink. Shame.
-
Leeds will have a big push in the last 10 and we will drop back. Hope we catch them on the break, but I am not looking forward to it!
-
We just can't keep hold of the ball. They will score unless we get a grip of the game. Keeping them out with some great tackling and interceptions so far.
-
Leeds must be blowing. They are frantic as shit. Can't keep it up at this pace. Just need to keep them out and their energy levels will drop off
-
Our defending is pretty woeful. We need to score more as can't see us keeping them out with how easy they are getting through us
-
I am glad we didn't side Piroe. He is an odd looking feller.
-
Got a bad feeling about this one. I think 4-0 to them. I still think we will win the league, but just think tonight will be a bad one for us. If we come away with the win, I will happily take a slap in the face!
-
He has a long way to go and with all young players, it will be an uphill battle for him to continue developing at the rate he has. IF he does though, then I can see him starting games for us in the future, even in the Premier League. He continues to surprise me and Enzo seems a big fan!
-
With Sensi deal not going through, Censei going back to Chelsea and Ndidi injured, it pains me to say it, but we need him to stay. He is still a competent player at this level and even capable of an assist or goal. It is mostly his injury record that has been a running joke for us. Gotta hold onto him
-
Yup. I was happy to see Ndidi leave in the summer and we keep Nacho... 6 months later. Keep Ndidi at all costs and drive Nacho to Forest!
-
Somewhat agree. I think we would be good enough right now to be slightly ahead of Sheff Utd, Burnley, Everton and maybe level with Luton and Forest in ability. However, beyond those, we would struggle and likely be right in that relegation scrap for most the season. I think bar Us, Leeds and Southampton, the teams in the Championship are a long way off all the current Premier League teams. That is not the only reason we have been so dominant this season, but it is a big reason why. I think the Premier League will be a big step up again and you only have to look at Burnley to see how much of a jump it still is. If we truly want to push those mid table teams in the Premier League next season, we will need significant investment and a cut throat approach to pushing some of our starters now to the bench or even moved on. I am loving this season though, and don't want to get too caught up in the IFs of next season. Enzo is doing a fantastic job andddd NO VAR! Enjoy it
-
Got to admit, I have been surprised how good he is. Enzo clearly rates him highly too. If he continues on this rate of development, there is every chance he will be an important starter for us in the future.
-
If he shines in the Premier League for us, which is more likely than not, then the big boys will absolutely come sniffing. We are still an ambitious club ourselves though, and so it would rightly take a huge offer to take him off us. He is absolutely class, and right up there with signing of the season, along with Winks.
-
I concur with those suggesting to give him a 1 year deal in the summer. It doesn't make that much sense on paper, but as long as he is OK/motivated by being 3rd/4th striker, then give him that final send off year (hopefully) in the Prem. Will be a sad day when the news breaks of his inevitable departure, whether this summer or next. What a story he has!
-
I am not actually that fussed we didn't sign this particular player. I think we needed a different type of CM. However, the way this played out is not a great endorsement for our club or those running it. Enzo is already tetchy because of some of our moany fans, so this won't help! I would like Top to seriously considering shaking up those below him though. Feels like things could be handled a lot better with a change of DOF
-
Show me his ear BigDaddy!
-
Stinks of needing and expecting us to have pushed a player out by now, so we are delaying this all but signed deal to frantically get a player off the books first. Pretty shite way to do business, but hey ho! I actually don't think we need Sensi, and should be after a more physical CM to cover for Ndidi. I guess he is a step up from Praet and Hamza though.
